Attention: Business owners accepting bitcoins

[the joint]

Hello!

I am interested in speaking with four categories of people:

1)  Business owners currently accepting Bitcoins

2)  Business owners currently accepting Bitcoins and who already use a Bitcoin shopping-cart interface (Bit-Pay, Mt. Gox, etc.)

3)  Business owners interested in accepting Bitcoins but who have not yet completed the necessary steps and/or who have reservations about accepting Bitcoins

4)  Business owners not-interested in accepting Bitcoins

If you fall into any of these categories, please send me a pm.  I would like to ask you a few questions related to businesses accepting bitcoins.

This request is not due to sheer curiosity, but rather it will help fulfill a greater purpose, and it is for this reason that I encourage you to reply.  I will make it known to you the reasons for this thread after you contact me via pm.

Thank you so much in advance!

I fit in #3. Interested, but not really doing anything about it. I may have to set up a separate business separate from the regular business. I was initially thinking of just telling people to send me bitcoins at an address, then I can fulfill their order. It can be as simple as that, no need for all the shopping cart thingies.

But it gets complicated (especially to normal people) who don't do encryption or don't do PGP / GPG, and they still have to trust you. And I'm outside the United States, so the currency exchange can also get complicated. It stays simple if I accept bitcoins and keep them as bitcoins, but eventually I'll need to cash them out into fiat money, and my currency is not listed anywhere and there is no "real" exchange in my country right now.
